Overview

This course will help you to understand what assertiveness is and how this type of behaviour compares to aggression and passivity. You will learn and practise some tips, techniques and strategies for remaining calm and professional in the face of anger or hostility and managing your own response to difficult situations. You will also have the opportunity to practise responding assertively to requests made by others and making requests in a way that gives you the best likelihood of a positive response. You will leave with a plan of action to respond assertively to at least one personal workplace situation.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
